I would appreciate a recommendation as I also have a kopitiam set. Hand me down from my grandma in-law. Need to polish the marble top and also fix the chairs as some are already wobbly.

Need to polish the marble top and also fix the chairs as some are already wobbly. I also thought of polishing the marble top but after thinking carefully, decided not to coz this is to bring out the antique characteristic of the kopitiam set. So i wldn't recommend it. Unless the marble is in a very very bad shape, then a good polish helps. Just repairing & refurbishing the wooden frame will do. For me, thinking of using some kind of natural matt wood polish that brings out the true colour & grain of the wood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We definitely need to repair the chairs too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
